adventure, Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New
World. And in order to do so, we need
your support in making this Kickstarter campaign a huge success. Please consider making a pledge and also help
us spread the word.

Huge announcement that we have been sitting on for some time was revealed in Update #5, the amazing artistic talent, veteran artist and game designer Bill Tiller (famous for his work on The Curse of Monkey Island and A Vampyre Story) joined the already fantastic team led by Steve Ince, Cateia Games and Frontmen Studio! More info from Bill Tiller himself in the video bellow!

We are extremly happy that Bill is joining us as the part of the team on Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty!

You can obviously see numerous visual influences and unique style of Bill Tiller that reaches far over to legendary Lucas Arts adventure genre titles!

The Curse of Monkey Island, one of our favorite adventure genre classics and the one that Bill Tiiller is famous for!

Some famous quotes ;)

During the life of this Kickstarter campaign, the first half of the first game, Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World (Episode 1)will be free to EVERYBODY! All of our backers from the 3$ tier and up will also receive the second half of the game (Episode 2) as a reward should the Kickstarter campaign prove successful, delivered as soon as it is complete.

Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty will be available in English with full English voiceovers, along with subtitles in German, Italian, Spanish and French with the possibility of additional languages to come!

Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty is a sequel to the acclaimed, traditional humorous point and click adventure from 2010, Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World. The game and its whimsical characters, as well as its colourful and detailed hand-drawn visual style, were inspired by legendary LucasArts and Sierra adventure games of old, such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Space Quest!

The visual style of the new game, as with the original Kaptain Brawe title, is heavily inspired by classic LucasArts adventure games

Cateia
Games, the veteran indie development studio behind first Kaptain Brawe game,
also well known for its roster of a dozen other excellent adventures, is
teaming up with legendary writer and game designer, Steve Ince (of Broken Sword
and So Blonde fame) to bring this project to life! This match made in heaven becomes even more
appealing when the highly talented art production team from Frontmen Studio is
added to the mix. They will be
responsible for the beautiful hand-drawn scenery and characters that will add a
special touch to the unique visual style of the game.

Ingame scene with fully implemented characters and animations, final result is a beautiful 2D adventure gameplay

Of course, Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty will be a fully voiced experience using superb actors who’ll be cast at a later date by Steve Ince and the heads of the Cateia Games team!

If you haven't played A Brawe New World, the original Kaptain
Brawe adventure, and are wondering who this intriguing hero actually is. While it would take a modest lifetime to
properly describe all the subtle nuances of his delicate personality, for
purpose of this Kickstarter campaign we’ll simply say he’s a space police
captain with a serious attitude. And
special talent for doing things exactly the wrong way! We say “talent” because, in his previous
adventure, he became caught up in an unlikely series of events that revealed
the greatest space conspiracy ever.

Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World – try it out today! The first half of the game (Episode 1) is free during this Kickstarter campaign

In the original game, Kaptain
Brawe intercepted a distress signal from a crashed ship and travelled to planet
Jama Spacea to investigate. It quickly
became apparent the crashed ship belonged to the bad guys. Chasing each other around the galaxy, our hero
teams up with unlikely allies to infiltrate a pirate organization and stop the
conspiracy.

Ursula Unsula, the
queen of Zennity Sping, the tiniest planet in the known universe, has grand
plans and plans to put those plans into action as soon as she’s planned her
breakfast of Krypto-Koffee and Kaffles. What grand plans you ask? Why, she only
wants to take over Folderakkiakkiu, the second tiniest planet. If she succeeds
in doing that, who knows where it will end? Megalomaniacs, eh?

Big cast of unique and wacky characters written by Steve Ince will give the game a special flavour

Meanwhile, the only
man who has the remotest chance of stopping her is dead, so it falls to Kaptain
Brawe to save the day, may the mighty Shelzar have mercy on us all.
Unfortunately, Brawe currently finds himself stranded on a remote ice planet
with little hope of rescue. It wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t just burnt the
last flammable part of his damaged ship in an effort to keep warm.

Can he, against all
odds, find his way off this butt-freezing lump of rock and ice and re-save the
universe? Presuming, of course, he even has a clue that it actually needs
saving.

And who, or what, in
the name of the galactic core is an Ittle?

Stay tuned! All this
and much more in the next thrilling instalment of Kaptain Brawe.

(Kaptain Brawe is sponsored by Krypto-Koffee in
association with Kickstarter backers.)

“No, no, no!” screamed
Steve as he underwent torture at the hands of Cateia Games, the crazy creatives
behind the first Kaptain Brawe game. The team wanted to make a sequel and were
under the misguided impression that it would be a good idea to involve Steve
Ince, a guy who likes to make up crazy stories, even about himself. “No,” he
continued. “I won’t rob a bank to fund the game; you’ll have to run a
Kickstarter campaign.”

The man sitting behind
the desk-light turned down the corner of another page in Steve’s favourite book
– boy these guys really knew how to do the worst torture. Between that and
making him drink tea without any sugar, Steve was unable to resist any longer.
“Look, I’ll even help you with the campaign, okay?”

The team grinned and a
shiver went down Steve’s back. Just what had he let himself in for?

Even if he never wants
to admit it, Steve is one of the adventure genre legends of old that we all
admire and love so much! He’s best known
for his work on classic adventure games at Revolution Software, including the Broken
Sword series and Beneath a Steel Sky, along with titles like So Blonde and
Captain Morgane. Even though we may feel
we already know him, we’ll let Steve talk about the project in his own words.

This game is going to
be the first outright wacky comedy game I’ve worked on for some time and I’m
really looking forward to getting my fingers stuck into the keyboard. Well, not
literally, of course. When I was approached by the team at Cateia Games to get
involved with the sequel to the first Kaptain Brawe game, I pondered long and
hard on what I should do.

Two minutes later, my
head already bursting with ideas, I replied to their enquiring e-mail with a
measured response. I say measured because I took out my old Mary Poppins Tape
Measure™ and found that it read exactly “excitedly enthusiastic”; not a
millimetre more or a quarter-ounce less.

We are staying true to the core while keeping that feeling of traditional point&click adventures and combining it with intuitive interaface and puzzles

But a little more
seriously, Kaptain Brawe 2 will be a perfect fit for my humorous sensibilities. I enjoy working on all the projects I
undertake and with the clients behind them, but every so often there comes a
project where I know that if I don’t work on it, the potential ideas that would
have been generated will haunt my dreams for years to come.

So, to be a little
self-indulgent – please consider backing this project and help all those
potential ideas become a reality. I promise that Kaptain Brawe – A Space Travesty will be far more fun than visiting
a zero-G massage parlour.

As my old boss,
Charles Cecil, once said to me, “Do you want a coffee?”

If we manage to gather
a much higher level of support for Kaptain
Brawe 2: A Space Travesty during this Kickstarter campaign, we already have
some exciting ideas that will help Steve and Cateia Games turn the game from great
to wonderful!

If with your support we somehow manage to reach the some of the highest announced stretch goals we will have more amazing things to announce!

Cateia Games

Cateia Games is a
veteran indie game development studio from Croatia. Creators of the original award winning Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World with
more than 10 years of experience and over a dozen projects shipped. The studio comprises more than a dozen
developers with a combined games industry experience in excess of 100 years. We
are very passionate about the adventure game genre and most of our games have
fallen under this label so far! It’s always been our dream to develop and
release a proper sequel to our love-child, Kaptain Brawe, and to develop it to the
highest production standards and in cooperation with one of the genre’s biggest
living game designer legends!

Frontmen Studio

Frontmen Studio from Belgrade has
been the independent visual design studio of choice for the best of breed in
the gaming industry. Key personnel at Frontmen Studio have a variety of backgrounds
and over 15 years experience in illustration, modelling, animation and visual design
for gaming. The partnership with Cateia Games developed rapidly, as both teams share
the same love and enthusiasm for high quality adventure games. This project
will be the cherry on the icing, as the Frontmen people have a passion for
creating gorgeous worlds and characters that stand out strongly from the crowd.

You
already know the story! Getting the
necessary funds to develop a high profile, traditional point and click
adventure game these days, at the same time as keeping ownership of an IP we
love so much, is next to impossible. Which is where you come in! Because we have an
excellent development team at our disposal and great internal development tools,
we can finish the development of Kaptain
Brawe 2: A Space Travesty for a fraction of the cost that other, well-known
studios have asked for similar projects, while at the same time delivering top
notch production values, a wonderful set of wacky characters and a great story
by Steve Ince!

Digital Rewards

Most of digital rewards including the digital version of the game (Steam key and DRM free version will be provided) will be delivered by June 2015 at latest.

Some digital rewards like digital wallpaper set, digital comic that bridges the story between original Kaptain Brawe and the sequel and backer forum access will be provided much earlier while Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World Episode 2 will be delivered to backers as soon as Kickstarter campaing ends.

Physical rewards

And here is the choice of special fine made physical rewards that each Brawe fan should have in his collection.

little more “brawe-looking”.

Spread the word about this project and the campaign with your friends, families, everybody! Support our Kickstarter campaign and help us and Steve Ince in developing one of the best wacky comical traditional adventure games of all time.

Risks and challenges

As with any project, even those that get funded through other traditional means, there are obvious risks involved. Our big advantage in avoiding any production challenges is a veteran team of developers and proven set of excellent internally developed software tools that we have been using daily for development of numerous both traditional core and casual adventure game titles

Those two things and sufficient funds that we are asking through our Kickstarter campaign can vouch on our side that Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty will be developed at both the highest production standards and delivered on time!

If some of the higher stretch goals are met we might opt for slightly longer development cycle to accommodate a lot more content being added while at the same time retaining our high level production standards that we are so proud of.

FAQ

Yes Kaptain Brawe 2: A Space Travesty will be available in DRM free version as well. All of the backers who get the digital version of the game as a part of their reward will be able to get it in DRM free version!

We already announced the game for a bunch of platforms but we are also thinking about doing PS4 and Xbox One versions in the future. To make it happen as soon as possible help us reach the stretch goal.
